Rony, You can not do the equivalent of "reply" from a native method, as Jean-Louis indicated. Rick had said that some time ago, but I couldn't find the message.
Since you say "creating a main loop on a separate thread to dispatch messages." You might think about how ooDialog works with the Windows message loop. There is a method, startParentDialog, that is implemented as a native method. The native method creates a second thread and returns. In the second thread, things are set up as a Windows message processing loop. Within the args passed to the second thread is a pointer to the RexxInstance. Within the second thread, the code uses the RexxInstance to get a RexxThreadContext through AttachTo(). Then this context is used to invoke methods in the Rexx objects in the Rexx program. This works, because the second thread also has a RexxObjectPtr for the Rexx dialog. You should / might be able to adapt that model to what you want. In ooDialog, the OS handles the dispatching of messages to the message handling loop. You would need to write your own way of dispatching messages to the loop. Seems pretty doable to me. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
